Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, issued during the reign of Charles Frederick in 1745, features an image of the ruler on one side and the coat of arms of the margraviate on the other. The coat of arms includes the symbol of the Baden family, a stag, which has been a part of the region's heraldry for centuries. This coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and was used for everyday transactions in the German States.
